i could agree hesitantly with that

@Christmas EveryDay I think he is looking for more historical

I believe GODs Word to be the final authority as well as absolute Truth!

Ye what I mean to say is that there are many different ways to interperet any text; there are multiple ways to define truth

Even incredibly important scholars in the Christian tradition to debate what "truth" is.

the bible says Jesus is the truth. Thats what i beliieve

Yeah but what is truth?

You can't really explain what it means for something to be true

=]

im just trying to play nice

I found that whatever "ist" glasses you look through will be the way one interprets scripture and hence the reason behind so many false belief systems.

Yeah, but a conversation on whether or not something is true is useless if two people cannot agree on what it means to be true. So you and DrPeper will have to E P I S T E M O L O G Y

Ovtherwise it'll be hopelessly circular

GOD resists the proud and gives Grace to the humble. If one comes to the scriptures arrogantly then they will see through a legalistic lens. If one comes humbly then GOD Graciously gives the ability to see Truth. The Word of GOD is alive!

It's how you analyze historic documents

You look for things that support it

With all due respect you're both spouting some shite

Looking for historical arguments for theology is futile to say the least

Try to rely on the anointing of the holy spirit to teach us

Ey mate I'm not saying anything about Christianity. I'm just saying these claims border upon the nonsensical

well if the world was able to understand, then the world would understand. right?

Yes

some things are spiritual, and cannot be understood physically.

Sure, but you don't need to rely on the Spirit to explain Christian theology

You can - you just don't have to; and something tells me, DrPeper ain't gonna accept the spiritual.

the bible says dont rely on your own understanding, theres that to consider.

The trinity is very important to Christianity

To rely on God's

The Spirit is still your understanding

You're just carving it up in a different set of semantics

right, the spirit is what we should seek to draw our understanding from, but be careful when you start seeking spiritual advice, some spirits only want to kill you

I reject the existence of the spiritual

lmao

ive experience the spirit realm on multiple occasions

A posteriori arguments are hard to make when I can point out experience csn be delusion

i wonder, was i as inquisitive as you ?

Think of it this way: you had an experience. That's true.

there were others who witnessed the same thing when i experienced it

its not like an only me thing

Ok, what was the experience?
